Coercive controllers use conditioning to groom you. Change your thought patterns. After a while, you might realise that you haven't decided anything in months, big or small, because you're under his full control. After leaving, that profound conditioning has to be unlearned, unravelled, and examined to help recovery. And it's profoundly beautiful on the other side of that. If this resonates, keep going with it. Your physical and mental freedom are priceless.
Their voice lingers long after they're gone. Healing means learning to hear yourself again. #HealingJourney

Thanks to @DrEmmaKatz for her thoughtful observations about the #Seancombs trial verdict and how the jury, and the public, still does not understand that the core of #domesticabuse is #coercivecontrol!

NJ call to action! What started as well-intended bill centering kids safety & limiting “reunification” has been heavily amended by NJ AFCC et al to be a very harmful bill now. S4510 will be voted in NJ Senate Mon & should be given a NO vote! PLEASE WRITE all NJ state senators!
